To all whom it may concern: v

Be it known that I, ENGLAND J. BARKER, a citizen of the United States,and a resident of .Morgan Park, in the county of Cook and 5. State ofIllinois, have'invented certain newand useful Improvements inWeb-Perfecting I-rinting-Presses, of which the following is a full,clear, and exact specification.

b ,-Web-perfecting printing-press which while just as, capable of usefor printing other matter isfpa'rticularly adapted for use in theprinting the continuous strips of paper used in autographic manifoldingregisters, which it I .."can consecutively number, can punch and "tintin whole or part, besides slitting the ipaperinto as many strips as areprinted at one time. ThisI accomplish by the means hereinafter fullydescribed and as particuzofjlarly pointed out in the claims.

The means for supporting the mechanism embraced in my invention comprisetwo main frames A and A, which rest upon the floor and are connectednear their bases by suitable tie-bars. At a suitable point above 7 thefloor these frames are provided with pro- The-ob ect of my mventlon isto provide a jecting shelves A? and A The u per edges of these shelvesare inclined from t e extremity tothe main body of the frame, and at theupper end of these inclines of the rear shelves A they are provided withopen bearingsin which the journals of the shaft of the roll of paper Bto be fed to the machine are journaled and retained by a suitable pin B.At the upper end of the inclined edge of the front shelves A of theframe another bearing is provided, in which the shaft C for winding Theinclined upper edges of these portions A and A are designed for thepurpose of, facilitating the rolling of the journals of the shafts ofsaid roll of paper and the ournals of the shaft C,

on which the printed paper is wound, to and from said bearings whenremoving the same or when adjusting the same in position in the machine.Above these open bearings the main frame is A-shaped and have secured toand support on their upper edges corresponding standards aa, in theupper ends of which bearings a are provided for the shaft D of theimpression-cylinder E, which extend laterally a suitable distance toform a journal for other elements of the machine, as will hereinafterfully appear. One end of this cylinder is closed by a gear D, which isdriven by a gear F on the drive-shaft Gr through the medium of aninterposed-idle gear I). This idle gear b is mounted on a longitudinalshaft 0, which connects and is journaled in the main frames A and A andbetween its bearings serves as a guide for the web of paper as it paysout from roll B.

Drive-shaft G has one end journaled in one of the sidefraines-and theother in an auXil-'- iary frame G and between its journals is providedwith a fly-wheel G a pulley GT, and a combined friction-clutch and drivePulley-G is loose on the shaft By shifting shaft C longitudinally awayfrom j the front wall of frame G.

removed from its bearings.

shot to and from its counterpart by means of shaft 0 the disk Cdisengages from the clutch C and said shaft can then be easily Thisclutch is corresponding arms C, projecting up from the transverserock-shaft C journaled in These arms engage a loose collar on theextended boss of the clutch, and through their instrumentality aweighted arm C, projecting horizontally from the forward end of shaft Ckeeps the clutch in engagement with its counterpart.

The ends of the impression-cylinder shaft D extend. beyond theirbearings and have loosely supported and journaled on the-extendedbearings a of the drive-shaft are the bosses of the end frames carryingthe circumferentially adjustable tintin roller mechanism, thetypecylinder mec anism, the numbering mechanism, and the punchingmechanism of the press, respectively lettered H H, I I; J J, and K K.Each pair of these end frames are substantially alike in construction,except that the end frames H, I, J and K have set-screws tapped radiallyt-herethrough that bite into bearings a, whereas the bosses of theframes H, I, J, and K have segmental gears h, i, j, and 7c,respectively, projecting downward therefrom in such relative position totheir respective frames that when adjusted as shown in Fig. 5 of thedrawings said segments are all sub stantially in the sameradially-adjusted position. Frames H, I, J, and K are arranged side byside on shaft D, and the segmental gears It, i, j, and is are parallelto each other and are respectively engaged by one of the four pinions7t, 4/, y", and it, which are respectively secured on the parallelspindles 71- 71", 3' and k journalcdin the main frame A and the upturnedend wall of a bracket B projecting therefrom. The outer ends of thespindles 71 i j, and k extend through their bearings in said end walland are squared, so that they may be engaged by a suitable key. Theposition of these pinions on said spindles is in the same vertical planeas the segment engaged thereby, and thus the turning of one spindle willnot affect the others, and any one of these adjustable frames may bemoved independent of the others. The advantage of this is apparent.Circulars, bills, or other similar printed matter may be made of anylength, and the relative positions of the type-cylinder, thenumbering-head, and the punching mechanism der can be had.

may be changed so as to make their impressions and perform their part ofthe work at any point desired on each circular.

Frame I, which carries the type-cylinder, has at a suitable point beyondthe circumference of the impression-cylinder bearings d for the shaft61, on which the type-cylinder d is suitably mounted. These bearings (Id comprise rectangular blockshaving grooves in their longitudinal sideswhich adapt them to be placed and be capable of longitudinal adjustmentin the vertical slot 0 in said frames I. The upper end of this slot isoccupied by the hollow cylindrical boss 6 of the plate 0", removablybolted to the edge of the frame I, so as to bridge across and close theouter end of slot 0. This boss preferably extends out beyond plate 6? asuitable distance, and the outer end of its bore is closed by ascrew-plug e The inner end of this bore is open and has a plunger emovable tllOIfGlll,

which is kept pressing against bearing (Z by a coil-spring e between itand plug. 6 Seated in a suitable groove in the bottom of slot 6 is acam-pin e", which is semicircular in cross-section and hassemicircularheads on its extended ends that lap against'the sides offrame I and prevent longitudinal displacement of said pin. Projectingfrom the outer head of the vpin is a squared boss which is adapted to beengaged by a suitable key or wrench to turn it. When so turned, theheads of the pin engage and raise the bear ings d, and thus move theshaft (1 and the type-cylinder out of engagement with theimpression-cylinder. Tappedlongitudinally and centrally through plug 6is a gage-bar e", the outer screw-threaded end of which is engaged by athumb-nut 6 by means of whi -h it can be adjusted longitudinally. Theinner portion of this gage-bar extends through the spring e and intoengagement with the end of the plunger 6. By means of this constructiona very nice adjustment of the typecylinder d to and from theimpression-cylin- It will be apparent from Fig. 24 that thetype-cylinder d can be adj usted longitudinally upon shaft d to anyposition desired and-that my invention contemplates the use ofa cylinderof comparatively small diameter, the length of which Wlll correspond tothe cylinder E or any portion thereof. Just inside its bearings at oneend shaft (1 is provided with a disk or frictiongear 2, which engagesthe circumference of the impression-cylinder, and thus imparts motion tosaid shaft.

Ink is supplied to the type-cylinderd by the ink-rollers ff. The shaftsupon which these ink-rollers are made have their ends extended outthrough suitable openings in frame I and are journaled in suitablebearings in the ends of rocking frames 3, which are pivoted to the outersurface of frames I by bolts 4 4, passing through longitudinally- 1elongated openings in saidframe, as shown.

These rocking frames 3 3 are arranged in a plane at right angles to aline passing be-' tween rollers f and intersecting the center of thetype-cylinder substantially in alinement with each other, and their endsopposite the ink-roller bearings are pointed, and the beveled edgesproducing this point are preferably at right angles to each other. Thebeveled edges of these pointed ends are engaged by the gage-screws 5 5,which are tappedthrough lugs projecting from frame I. By manipulatingthese gage-screws 5 the relative-position of the ink-rollers to thetypecylinder and to each other can be determined to anicety. Y

' The end portions of the ink-roller shafts f adjacent to thefriction-gear 2 are each provided with friction-pinions 6 6 on disksthrough the medium of which the motion of shaft (1 is imparted to theink-rollers, and said ink-rollers are engaged by a vibratingink-distributing roller 7, -mounted on the vibrating shaft 8, whichderives motion through the medium of a friction-gear 9, secured thereon,that is engaged by the friction-, pinion on disk-.6, and is given itsvibratory movement by means of a cam 10, having a spiral groovel-l-journaled on the stud projecting from the stationary arm 12 enters,

the shank of arm 12, is rigidly secured in the adjacent frame I.

Ink is supplied by means of devices hereinafter to be morefullydescribed to the vibratory distributing-roller 7 from an inkfountain.This ink-fountain comprises end frames 13 13, the side edges of whichnearest the type-cylinders are extended and secured to the inner surfaceof the frames I.

The outer wall of the fountain consists of a plate 14, secured to theouter ends of frames 13, and the inner 'wall consists of alongitudinally-disposed plate 15, the ends of which are provided withcorresponding inwardly-projecting ears which are pivoted to the innersurface of frames 13 between sald plate 15 and the outer plate 14, asshown. The lower edge of this plate 15 rests upon the circumference'ofan ink-roller 17 and serves as sort of a doctor to regulate the film ofink on the roller 17, which will be taken from the fountain, andto'permit the adjustment of plate 15 for this purpose I have made asegmental slot 18 in said ears and inserted therethrough aset-nut 19, bymanipulating which the adjustment of plate 15 with reference to roller17 can be satisfactorily accomplished.

' The bottom of the ink-fountain comprises a casting having an inclinedupper web that has a drop -wall depending from its lower edge. In thevertical surface of th s dropwall opposed to roller 17 is a longitudlnalgroove, andseated in this groove 13 a doctor 22, preferably rectangular1n cross-section, which is adjusted to and from roller 17 by meansof aseries of set-screws 2.3. The up-. per edge of the inclined portion ofcasting 20 is connected to the lower edge of plate 14 of the fountain,and this casting, the doctor 22,

and roller 17 from the'bottom of the inkfountain. The ends of roller 17are journaled in bearings in a depending rectangular. extensionof endframes 13, and these'bearings ma be formed in any suitable manner.

In or' er to transfer the ink from roller 17 to the vibratorydistributing-roller 7 ,.I have provided a roller 24, which is journaledin the ends of arms 27, that are pivoted to the ex-- tremityof theforwardicurvedextensions of the end frames 13 of the ink-fountain. Thesearms 27 have extensions 25,that are engaged by cams 26 on the,type-cylinder shaft (1, which as said shaft revolves oscillates arms 27and moves roller 24 first in contact with roller 17 and the vibratoryroller. Roller 17 has a ratchet 60 and is given an intermittent rotarymotion by the engagement of this ratchet a gravit -paWl 28, by which itis ivotally connecte to arm 27 at one end'o the. machine orink-fountain. In order; to insure the engagement of extensions 25 ofthese arms 27 with the earns 26 at all times, I prefer to place acoil-expansion spring 29 betweenthe projecting overhanging wall'30 ofend frame and arms 27.

,It is often desirable to illuminate or tint the paper .or a portion ofthe paper of each printedcopy of matter passed through the machine. thetype impression is made thereon. The frame I-I, carrying the tintingmechanism, is therefore so adjusted that its operation precedes that ofthe printing-cylinder.- The tinting-cylinder L, the inking-rollers Z l,the vibratory distributing-shaft 1n, the ink-fountain'M, and theoscillating roller n for transferring the ink from the fountain occupythe same relation to each other and cooperate in a similar manner as dothe typeecylinder (Z rollers f, f, 7, 17, and 24, and the ink-fountainsupported by frame I. The changed po sition of the tinting cylinder withrelation to the impression cylinder necessitates a slightly-differentarrangement of the inkingrollers and ink fountainthat is, the ink- Iing-rollers are placed below instead of along- This it is desirable todo before 7 The numbering mechanism of the printingpress which iscarried by frame J and said frame itself are identically the same asframe I and the mechanism carried by it, with the exception that thenumbering-head carrier carried by the former is substituted for thetype-cylinder of the latter. The only difference is in the psitionviz.,frame J and its mechanism are the reverse of frame I and its mechanism.The numbering-head carrier 0, which I prefer to use, has been made thesubject of an application for Letters Patent of the United States, filedby me March 27,1902, Serial No. 100,241, and it is therefore unnecessaryto go into detail concerning it, except to state thatit comprises acarrier secured and fastened to and revolving with shaft 0 and that ithas recesses in its periphery, in

which one or more numbering-heads 7) are re -movably and adjustablysecured. This shaft 0 is actuated in a similar manner and with similarmeans as shaft (1, and two inking- ,rollers g g engage thenumbering-heads, and a vibratory distributing-roller P engages saidinking-rollers, and an oscillating transmission-roller-Q supplies theink to said distributing r'joller from a similar ink-fountain R, all thesame as similar elements in frame I.

The frame K and the punching devices and mechanism connected therewithare entirely different from the other adjustable frames and themechanism carried thereby. The punching mechanism comprises shafts S ands, which are journaled at each end in said frames K and have adjustablysecured thereon holders T and t for the male punch V and the femalecounterpart 4), respectively. The holders T comprise a suitable boss,which. is fastened to the shaft S by nieans of a spline 33 and set-screw34, substantially as shown inFigs. 16 and 17. This boss has an armprojecting therefrom which has a head 35 projecting laterally from itsouter end, which Is provided with an opening extending radiallytherethrough for the reception of the male punch V, which is securedtherein by means of the set-screw 37, substantially. as

'shown. The boss 25 also has an arm projecting from it, which has a head38 projecting laterally from its outer end, and this end has a radialopening in'it, in which the female counterpart v is secured by means ofa setsorew 40. The-female die is tubular, and its bore is of the samediameter as the male punch V. The length of these arms is such thattheir peripheries touch at a point midway between shafts S and s, andthe male punch V is so adjusted in head 35 that its engaging endprojects just sufficiently beyond the periphery of the head that whensaid holders T and t are properly ad usted on their respective shaftsthemale punch will enter D on the cylinder-shaft D it is provided with asmall gear 41 that meshes with and derives motion from gear DT. Thisgear 41 engages asimilar gear 42 on shaft 8 and revolves said shaft atthe same rate of speed as the shaft S.

In order to pass the printed web of paper between these revolvingpunches, I pass the Web as it leaves the impression cylinder around aguide-roller 43 and then over a guide-roller 44 after the paper ispassed be-' tween shafts S and s, and from guide-roller 44 the paper isrun to and over a guide-roller 45, from whence it runs to awinding-cylinder R on the shaft C, referred to in the first part of thisdescription. are j ournaled in the frames K. As the paper passes fromguide-roller 44 to 45 it is engaged by a series of rotary cutters WV andX. The cutters X comprise a disk the circumference of which is suitablysharpened and which is adjusted longitudinally upon and secured to theshaft by means of a suitable set-screw. The cutters IV are constructedsubstantially the same as cutters X and are adjusted longitudinally uponand secured'to the shaft to, which latter is journaled in the ends ofcorresponding arms r, secured to a shaft y, the ends of which latter arej ournaled in bearings in frame K. Shaft 10 is provided with a flexiblejoint 36 near one end, and-its opposite end is not jmu'haled, but isfree, so that the cutters W thereon can bear heavily on cutters X. Shafta; has a gear near one end thereof, which is engaged by and derivesmotion from the idle pinion Q, which meshes with and is actuated by gear42, and the shaft to has a gear 11: near its journaled end, which issimilar to and derives motion from gear 90.

There may be'one or several pairs of punches adjusted upon shafts S ands, so as to punch each copy of; printed matter at the point thereondesired either when one or several copies of the printed matter areprinted side by side on the web of paper at the same time. In likemanner there may be one or several pairs of the rotary cutters X and IVadjusted longitudinally on their respective shafts, so as to cut andseparate said parallel copies apart.

In order to prevent the pieces of paper out from the web of paper by therevolving punches from falling and scattering over the parts of themachine below the same, I have provided an inclined chute Z, comprisingone or more sheets of metal, the vertical side edges of which areflanged upward, which is supported by having its upper portion securedto the transverse rod 46, connecting the frames K K, so that the lowerend thereof discharges into a box 47. If desired, I can use an apron 48in conjunction with chute Z. Int-his event apron 48 would comprise oneor the female counterpart once every revolution 1 more single plates ofsheet metal and have thereof, substantially as shown in the drawitsupper portion securedin suitable manner 65 ings. Near the end of shaft Sadjacent to gear l to the side frames A A.

These rollers 43, 44, and 45.

T he. webof paper wound upon the cylinder R musthave provision for itsremoval. I accomplish this bysecuring the windingcylin- 'der R betweenthe heads It, which is suitably secured to shaft C. One end of shaft C,

1 which extends through its hearings in frame A, is screw-threzided andprovided with a hand-wheel on its end, and this screw-threacL edportionextends through the tapped opening'ina standard R which rests upon andis supported-by a bracket R projecting from said side frame A. Bymanipulating the 1 hand-wheel shaft C canv be moved longitudings of theshafts 21 corresponding arms 49 and 50, which project connecting-rod 52.Thus when one of said vnally and its opposite end disengaged andwithdrawn longitudinally fromthe boss of the clutch counterpart C, andthen bv re- -n1oving the pins shaft C can be rolled out of its openbearings in the main frames A and A. and the paper-rollon itscylinder bebodily removed and'a new cylinder placed back .tlponlthe shaft and saidshaft put back in its bearings again and connected with the clutch.

This I accomplishbyextending the-eccentricpins, which pass under theadjustable bearand 0, and secure to them upward at a suitable angle andhave heads 51 51 pivoted thereto, which are connected by a arms 50 or 49is .moved the eccentric-pins under both bearings are similarlymoved toeffect the adjustment of the type-cvlinder (I and numbering-head shaftsrelatively to the circumference of the impression-rollen At the oppositeend of these shafts (Z and 0 I prefer to apply a brake to regulate andmake the m0v em-'ent of the revolution of said shafts continuous andeven.

T heseibraking devices comprise a disk 53, keyed to the extension ofsald sl1afts.'wh1ch are surrounded by a band 54, the ends of whichlatter are secured to -end places 55 and56, the extremities of whichextend laterally outwardparallel to each other and are united by thebolt of nut 57.. One of these extremities ictends farther than the otherand. is adapted to comein contact. with a pin .58. projecting laterallyfrom frames I- and J, which hold said braking device stationary whilethe type-cylinder and numbering device are' printing: but when the saidtype-cyl nder and numbering i device are moved in the reversedirectionthese braking devices would move with the shafts thereof. Theshaft of the tintingcylinder carried by frame, H is provided with asimilar brake 59 on, theend thereof, extendlng through its bearings. I j
